“It was an outrage,” NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione told reporters in Sydney today. “To see a young child with a placard thrust in his hand calling for the beheading of a person is simply something I cannot comprehend. It’s just not what we teach our children.”

He then warned: ‘Nobody should know about this and the girl must not complain… If she talks in school they will take the girl, social workers will take her and afterwards you and I will be in trouble.’
